MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - How can I create subsections in Table of Contents

SampleAndy · 05-12-2017, 04:15 PM

I'm sure I've seen them in some of my books, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for for an example. The closest I've found was similar to below:

Front Matter(followed by a down arrow)

Praise for...
Also by
Title Page
Copyright

and then the normal TOC continues.

If you tap the down arrow, it changes to a right arrow and all the subsections are hidden. (I might have the direction of the arrows reversed, but...)

Looking at the code in Sigil, I couldn't see anything that would cause this behavior, and a search for "Front Matter" had no results.

I have a couple enormous books where I would like to break the ebook down into the same sections as the actual books, i.e.

Section One

Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
...

Section Two

Chapter 16
Chapter 17
Chapter 18
...

Section Three, etc.

Is this possible, and if so, how do you do it?
Thanks for your help.
